Grand Central Terminal 100th Anniversary

Many of the New York holiday train walk people my not realize that the Lionel Layout in the MTA museum at Grand Central is staying up this year into February in honor of the 100 year birthday celebration.

It's a Terminal, not a station

I think the Post article called it a Terminal.

Very true. Grand Central Station is a post office in New York. (450 Lexington Avenue.)  

Nicole - thank you for the great photograph.  I had often heard that Grand Central Station was a post office but did not realize there was such clear graphic evidence of the fact.

True, it is a terminus hence the name "Grand Central Terminal."  However, as is mentioned in the article, millions of people still refer to it as "Grand Central Station."  So, I think it would be wise to leave the semantics arguments out of the discussion.

Thanks for the info, being a New Yorker I knew of the 100th birthday, and it's nice 

that the Lionel display will stay up till February they did a great job on the display

this year will go back a few more times to see it, Happy Birthday GCT!

I am going to have to make a banner for my GCT recognizing the 100th anniversary.

 

My station is a Marx Grand Central Station, so it will always be a station to me.

It is  nice it made it to 100 years, it almost didn't, thanks to stupidity and greed, if the real estate interests would have had their way, it would have ended up like Penn Station, an underground warren with all the charm of an unclean pay toilet IMO. Thankfully, thanks to the work of Jackie Kennedy Onasis and others, it is there for us to enjoy. The inside of the station is interesting, though like with a lot of Manhattan, it is definitely for the upscale shopper, looks a lot different then when I commuter through there for about 6 years.
